It’s not hard to find an OK croissant or cookie - everywhere from airport coffee shops to grocery stores are full of them. But if you want the kind of handmade pastries that will make you question your entire life up until that point, go to Rose Street Patisserie in Linden Hills. They serve all of the greatest hits of French pastry, like eclairs, macarons, gateaux, tartines, and croissants, along with freshly baked bread, cookies, and chocolates. If you need something else between pastries, they also serve breakfast and lunch options like quiches and paninis throughout the day.
